Looking at the large pile of things, Mrs. Fu could only accept the situation.
She actually wanted to say that even though she rarely went into town to buy vegetables and meat, her Mingxue had a good colleague.
That colleague was well-connected and would frequently help them buy meat, fine flour, and rice.
They had truly never gone without.
Lunch was a sumptuous spread.
In the afternoon, Sister Cai made a trip to the hospital.
She came back with good news: Hao Rong’s son’s high fever had broken.
...
Because Fu Mingxue had left in a hurry, she hadn’t sent word home.
Mrs. Qin, thinking about how she was leaving the next day, decided to wait up a little later.
She didn’t expect it to be eleven o’clock already, and her daughter-in-law still hadn’t come home.
’Does she work overtime this late every day?’
’This is just too grueling!’
She wanted to wait a little longer, but she couldn’t fight off her drowsiness and fell asleep.
The next day, both mothers woke up very early.
But Qin Wenshu was up even earlier than them.
"Auntie, did my sister-in-law not come home last night? Her bicycle is gone."
Qin Wenshu had planned to get up a little earlier. He wanted to ride the bicycle to the hospital and get back before his sister-in-law left for work.
But he was surprised to see that the bicycle wasn’t in the courtyard.
’Surely my sister-in-law didn’t leave for work before dawn, right?’
Hearing this, the two mothers looked toward the spot in the courtyard where the bicycle was normally parked. Sure enough, it was gone.
Mrs. Fu had never known her daughter to work overtime all night without coming home.
The sight made her anxious.
She immediately went and pounded on Fu Mingxue’s door. "Mingxue!"
With a forceful pound, the door swung right open.
Mrs. Fu saw that the quilt on the bed was still neatly folded; no one had slept in it.
